“Thank you for loving me and agreeing to come here with me.”
She chuckled softly. “You’re thanking me, when you’re the one who brought me on this incredible trip.”
I leaned in close and kissed her on the lips, savoring the feel of her, the fact that she melted against me. Even all these years later, here we were, more in love than ever. Hell, every single day I fell in love with her more. She made my belly tighten in anticipation, made my heart skip a beat when she sang. I tingled all over at the feel of her against my body and the sound of my name falling from her lips as she moaned in ecstasy. God, I loved this woman.
We lay down, me behind her, my arm wrapped around her waist. Her back was to my chest, and the sweet scent of her filled my head, had me drunk and calm all in the same breath. And as we stared at those wondrous lights, as I held the woman I loved and knew my soul mate was right by my side, I realized for the hundredth time that I was one lucky bastard.
This was my wife, the mother of my children, my little songbird, and I’d always make sure I was by her side no matter what.
No would ever love anyone as much as I loved her. Of that I was sure.
